@FutureJurvetson @DOGE @LarryLessig jesus h christ this nailed it

Lessig: “The great evil that we as Americans face is the banal evil of second-rate minds who can’t make it in the private sector and who therefore turn to the massive wealth directed by our government as the means to securing wealth for themselves.” “We must remember that harm sometimes comes from timid, even pathetic souls. That the enemy doesn’t always march. Sometimes it simply shuffles.” — From Larry Lessig, constitutional scholar and Harvard Law School Professor, in his book Republic Lost. We co-taught a class at Stanford Law many moons ago.

@garrytan i would donate heavily to this recall

Justice for Vicha means Recall San Francisco Superior Court Judge Linda Colfax

@sfchronicle judge seems to not value safety ballotpedia.org/Linda_Colfax

The judge said she believed public safety would be best served if Antoine Watson, whose fatal attack helped galvanized the Stop Asian Hate movement, was released on probation. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/gra…

@davidu wired feels increasingly like the opposite of a magazine that loves technology :/

I’ll save you all a click and the paywall. It’s a genuinely boring and long story that adds up to a bland nothingburger.

@rousseaukazi SO FRIGGIN AWESOME

@sfchronicle It's awesome that Brooke Jenkins is doing her job - SF would be lucky to have more officials like her.

OPINION: The decision by San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins to prosecute hundreds of low-level cases has crippled an underfunded, understaffed public defender system. sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…

@FEhrsam wow - great pick. excited to see you move the nation forward

Excited to serve on the President's Technology Council

@mkratsios47 wow this is impressive

Today, we welcome the first wave of extraordinary members to President Trump’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). Rooted in the tradition FDR began in 1933, PCAST unites America’s brightest minds to advise the President on the most pressing national issues in science and technology. Under @POTUS, PCAST will focus on the opportunities and challenges that emerging technologies present to the American worker and how to best ensure the U.S. continues to lead in the Golden Age of Innovation.

@sp6runderrated i'm with you!!! repeal both!!

I'm proud to be part of the small minority that hates prop 13 and rent control.

@USCTO47 this is soooooo friggin DOPE

Moon Base! Moon Base! Moon Base!

@SenMarkKelly this sounds great

If you’re writing the laws, you shouldn’t be playing the market. This is basic stuff. I have a bill that finally bans members of Congress from trading stocks. No loopholes. No exceptions.

@SecKennedy naively - this seems like a great idea!

We're now requiring all health providers and insurers to post their prices publicly so you can shop around and make an informed decision.

@pitdesi this 1,000%

Blue state playbook: create a supply problem, throw subsidies at the symptoms, then raise taxes to pay for it all. Because you increased demand instead of supply everything gets more expensive. See: housing, energy, healthcare, childcare in CA vs TX. Eventually, people leave (or don't come), including many wealthy folks in the tax base (the top 1% pay 45% of taxes in CA)… but you keep spending, so taxes have to keep going up. Washington, New York, California are all moving to increase taxes, meanwhile, red states are moving in the opposite direction, competing for the same wealthy residents that blue states are pushing away, and they are attracting them, and many of them are bringing jobs with them… and people can live there because it’s cheap. I spent some time in Texas this year and it’s easy to see why their model works- it’s the real abundance state… They just let people build and don’t get in their way. Often ugly, but it is cheap to live there, and that makes a huge difference. They have TONS of immigrants for this reason. They have jobs and it's cheap to live there- pretty simple. Despite all the subsidies for immigrants in California, and lack of them in Texas, immigrants choose Texas over California... Cheap housing does more for quality of life than any government program. Same pattern with solar. California subsidizes demand while making it painfully slow to permit and install, while Texas just makes it easy to build. Texas generates more solar power than California and is adding new capacity at 7x the rate. Why don't I move? SF has network effects in tech and is the most beautiful state in the US. I just wish it were better governed!

@tdietterich @arxiv this seems super cool - @arxiv has made science wildly more accessible

@arxiv is recruiting a CEO who will lead the organization as it becomes an independent non-profit. This is an exciting opportunity to improve the infrastructure for open science! The job advert is here: jobs.chronicle.com/job/37961678/c…

@SenToddYoung thanks for leading on this issue!!

Recent global events highlight why it is vital the U.S. has a reliable supply chain of critical minerals. They are essential to everything we do, including our national defense.
 Last year, I laid out a plan for U.S. dominance and it's time to carry it out.

@kimmaicutler Prop 13 is hilariously regressive in comparison to CA's aspirational values

There’s a new one that learns about Prop. 13 every day!

@drfeifei this is so cool!! does it do physics of things in motion & manipulable objects yet? obviously already an incredible achievement!!

Our imaginations are unbounded, so should the worlds we create be…🌐😍

@bilalmahmood appreciate you doing common sense moves to make the city safer sir!!

Key public safety initiatives we’ve worked on over the last month in the Tenderloin: 1. At the request of concerned parents, our office requested and helped to increase police presence outside local theaters on Turk Street where children were performing. 2. Parents at the Tenderloin Community School informed us of high rates of dog bites against families walking to/from school - SFPD has accordingly increased patrols across the neighborhood and by the first weekend of increased enforcement made about a dozen citations. 3. Residents on Ellis, Turk, and Leavenworth have reported worsening street conditions - we hear your concerns loud and clear and are elevating the concerns to SFPD and Mayor's Office. SFPD and DPW have already initiated more A Frame operations on some of the affected blocks to disrupt the traffic of the open air drug market. Thank you to Captain Sullivan and Tenderloin Station for your leadership in the community, and for keeping our families and children safe.

Tony Hoare, the Turing Aware winner who (among many other things) invented quicksort and communicating sequential processes (CSP), which inspired the Go programming language, has passed away. RIP to one of the greats of our industry blog.computationalcomplexity.org/2026/03/tony-h…

@DanielLurie this seems super cool!! how are the students going to come/go and interact? would be great to get more cross-exposure between SF and these universities!!

Eight leading Midwestern universities are opening “Third Coast Foundry,” a new base in San Francisco for collaboration. This hub will bring students, researchers, and entrepreneurs to a 3,500-square-foot workspace in South Park, where university startups and researchers can engage directly with San Francisco’s innovation ecosystem. The participating universities include: - Carnegie Mellon University - Northwestern University - The Ohio State University - Purdue University - University of Chicago - University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign - University of Wisconsin–Madison - Washington University in St. Louis San Francisco is the global hub of innovation and with another investment from leading institutions of higher education, we are accelerating our city’s recovery and strengthening our city center as a place where people live, work, play, and learn. I look forward to welcoming students and leaders from the Midwest and partnering with these universities to open our doors to the next generation of innovators.
